The Lie We Live - Alan Watts on the Illusion of Time https://youtu.be/ogLc7M9_hR8?si=17R-kkkut63V0rYw °• We are living in a culture entirely hypnotized by the illusion of time, in which the so-called present moment is felt as nothing but an infintesimal hairline between an all-powerfully causative past and an absorbingly important future °•• We have no present (here and now). Our consciousness is almost completely preoccupied with memory and expectation °• We do not realize that there never was, is, nor will be any other experience than present experience °• We are therefore out of touch with reality. We confuse the world as talked about, described, and measured with the world which actually is °• We are sick with a fascination for the useful tools of names and numbers, of symbols, signs, conceptions and ideas °•☆ #subtitle @Alanwwatts
